bill o'reilly. the spin always stops here because we are always looking out for you! have a good weekend! captioned by closed captioning services, inc. this is a fox news alert. day now of the tense hostage stand off in alabama. i'm eric in for sean tonight. first here is the back story. a gunman boarded a stopped school bus and demanded child hostages. when the bus driver refused he was shot and killed. police responded immediately but the story took a scare areyier and by dar turn. listen to the police radio traffic. >> just had a bus driver shot, possibly deceased.

>> as you just heard the gunman took a small five-year-old boy hostage in an underground bunker located on his property and today we got a first look at the accused gunman, jimmy lee dykes. joining me is fox news own jonathan serri. what is the latest. >> police are talking to the suspect through a pvc pipe leading into the underground

bunker but releasing few details. today we did get the first glimpse of the school bus that was involved in the shooting. authorities drove the bus out of the neighborhood first and then at the main highway hitched it to the back of a tow truck which carried the bus away. this is the bus that 65-year-old jimmy lee dykes allegedly boarded tuesday afternoon reportedly demanding two child hostages. the school bus driver charles pollen, jr. refused and tried to block the gunman paying the ultimate price. a funeral service is scheduled sunday. the large venue has been reserved to accommodate a crowd of potentially thousands because the bus driver's family received a huge outpouring of support from the community. list. >> i believe it will be a place that they will celebrate not the death of mr. pol poland bue life.

surely this man died an american hero. >> so an entire community honoring the heroic efforts of this bus driver who lost his life trying to defend the children on his bus and also a community praying for the safe release of this five-year-old boy who tonight is being held in an underground bunker in the neighborhood behind me. eric? >> thank you very much. and joining me now with more on this tense situation former fbi hostage negotiator danny colson and former miami beach s.w.a.t. team member joel matthews. we had reports that possibly this man mr. jimmy lee dykes may be watching television and. he may be watching this program right now. if i can get you danny to talk to him as you are speaking to him right now, in the event he is watching. what would you say? >> i would say basically that you are to be commended

mr. dykes for allowing the medication to come to the little boy. the diversion of the coloring books is a sympathetic effort on your part. i know you have some grievances that you would like to address and i underand it that. a lot of americans have grievances with the government and many do have that. this little boy is not the government. he a is an innocent victim and basically your words that we all are going to hear and anxious to hear have a great deal more weight if this little boy is released back to his family. i know you served our country in the military. i know you understand duty and we all have duty to protect the children of our nation and i would hope that you would consider allowing him to go back to see his family who desperately miss him. one other thing is that if you choose that path you need to understand that you will be streeted with dignity and honor. there will be no embarrassment

levied upon you by walking calmly into custody where you will be met with attorneys who will represent you and you will have your day in court. but we are all concerned about human life. your life is important. this little boy's life is important and getting him back to his family is a win-win for you and for us as well. >> sergeant joe, let's assume mr. jimmy lee dykes is watching here now. please take your turn. >> mr. dykes i know you believe that what you have done is justified. but i also know in your heart you realize that this baby belongs back with his parents. and it could be that simple. thank you. >> let's talk about the 5-year-old boy. it has been reported that he may have aspergers. what should we be telling

jimmy lee dydes about that little boy? >> the response to that of the negotiators and we still have a chance here. i think reremind him he is just a little boy and does have a condition that causes him to be anxious normally and this situation is certainly exacerbated the fact that he is even more anxious and his medication is important and you are now his protector and we want to see him and you come out safely together. >> sergeant joe, i have a 14-year-old son and the thought of my 14-year-old son in this situation really is heartbreaking. it is scary. talk to jimmy lee dykes now and tell him that this doesn't have to end badly. >> it doesn't. you know what happened in the past has happened in the past and right now as my friend just said that this boy's life and

future, it they are in your hands and you have the ability to bring joy to the family in getting their baby back home and we rely on you that you will do the right thing. >> danny, give us a sense of you have done this before, right? >> yes, a few times. >> give us a sense of what is important. give me the next 24-48 hours what is important? >> to be patient. this is all about patience. it is about convincing everyone that this is not the end of the road here. there is future, it is going to be a tough future but it is a future and both mr. dykes and this young boy do have a future and this is not the end of the day. it should go on and i believe that he will do the right thing here. he served his country and now he needs to serve this little boy who is dependent upon him for his very life. >> there is a good chance jimmy lee dykes is scared himself. what will you say to him to

make sure that it is going to be okay if he lets this boy go? >> he has a different mindset each time he closes his eyes and wakes up. say wait a minute, what happened in the past, we have to worry about the future now and we have ways of protecting him. if we can protect the terrorists that have affected our country we have protect someone that made a mistake and someone that is going to do the right thing and bring this baby home. >> all right. we will leave it there. danny colson and sergeant joe matthews. let's hope jimmy lee dykes a watching right now and takes q4 advice. we this week may go down as one of the worst weeks of the obama presidency all thanks to three straight days of dismal economic news and guess what the president did smack in the middle of the economic storm? shut down his jobs council. later a top obama advisor slams secretary of defense nominee chuck hagel.

it shocked a lot of americans. >> i want to say president obama was disbanding his jobs council. jobs so good, or he's not up for reelection again? >> well, i was thinking you guys would be happy about this. this cuts more spending. and eric are you tell meeg when the market closed down,

over 14,000 said we have a bad economy today? >> what do you mean it cuts more spend something it doesn't cost anything to get on a telephone does it? >> corporate america proved they're doing fine. it's corporate america, private sector everybody on the right like my friend says should be creating jobs not the government's responsibility to create jobs why do we need a jobs council, gentlemen? >> it's the noft's responsibility to kill jobs. a plant in corpus christi killed by epa just this week. that sage hand in southwestern california listed going to shut down oil and gas exploration, kill off housing in colorado then let's talk about the see quest traigs that and medical device tax, 2.3% on gross rets. props biggest job killer

kicked in. that is the government killing jobs. private sector doing best it can, but your president, your party are killing off jobs in this country. not the private sector that snot doing it's job. it's the federal government killing it. >> i want you to listen to, on wednesday, also, gdp number came out and showed a contraction. abc kind of talked bit a little bit. nbc disregarded it. listen to what cbs news had to say about it. >> a shrinking economy spells resection but don't panic yet. the number is lakely to be revised as more data come in senior business kmondent found this dark cloud may vai silver lining. >> headline may be disat but economy was showing strength at the end of the year.

>> one economist put it, it's the best contraction in the u.s. economy you're going to see. >> i'm not sure the economist that work was the department but may be so i don't know how he knows it's go be to be revised. number two, silver lining? really a contraction. and three, really. that is all. really. >> listen, you know? i'm normally a pessimist but we have to look at, if you want to talk about revix, you. remember you're saying books were cooked before the election? now, we can see numbers for september, october, november up? we can see 100,000 jobs created in construction in four months. that tells me housing situation is turning around. you know that is key to the economy this, is not double dipping this, is a tenth of one percent difference in the unemployment number.

and gdp. >> you may ask 12 million people are out of work whether or not sismt is there a good time to have a contraction or recession in the economy? why is the left wing media covering up for this? >> that report is maigz. this isn't a talking point. these jobs being killed in colorado and across the medical device industry, these are talking points. these are real people who are losing their few yours because this president is killing jobs. goitsing to take one of our strongest sectors medical devices sector with 400,000 people work are for it if this president does not act. so it's not a talking point. but real people and i can't believe the president is actually not talking to this.

and off, i don't know, watching southbound or -- super bowl or something. >> why are 48 million people on food stamps right now? and the number we're spending on food stamps tripled since he took over? >> i never said this is a great situation. i sthed is not going backward. we're not double dipping. we're not in a recession. when you look at the numbers, when you look at construction, and when you look at health care, bit way everybody says would cost jobs and hasy jaited jobs this is steady. we're not going into the wrong direction. i think what the show is that we don't need more cuts. i think spending cuts negatively affected our economy and we saw that with the gdp. >> i've got about 15 seconds, last word. >> this request traigs of the

department of defense is a zaft yes, he's responsible and negative growth is negative growth. it's down one tenth of a percent yeent we have to leave it there. thank you guy autos the white house insider turns on one of president's own nominees after his performance at yesterday's hearing. we'll tell you what a top aid is saying about the secretary of defense nominee chuck haigel z later make sure there is a box of tissues nearby. we're going to throw a farewell party for hillary clinton and to mark her last day we'll remind you of a long list of accomplishments including benghazi. living with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis

means living with pain. it could also mean living with joint damage. humira, adalimumab, can help treat more than just the pain. for many adults, humira is clinically proven to help relieve pain

and stop further joint damage. humira can lower your abilitto fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. ask your rheumatologist about humira, to help relieve your pain and stop further joint damage.

we have never ever designated a part of a legitimate government, a state, when i say a legitimate, that mean that we agree with -- it doesn't mean that we agree with iran but it is a member of the united nations. almost all of our allies have embassies in iran so that is why i note an elected legitimate government whether we agree or not. we have never made any part of a legitimate independent government designated them or made part -- made them part of a terrorist organization. >> that was defense secretary hagel making aeadachele making profound blunder yesterday. any one watching the proceedings could see that the senate committee was shocked as to how ill prepared hagel was. the white house is already in full damage control mode and now a bomb hell report from the

new york times eenergied that said one of obama's own advisor said he was baffling and reprehensible. >> name one person in your opinion who is entim dated by the israeli lobby in the united states senate. >> well, first -- >> name one. >> i don't know. >> when you said that the surge would be the most dangerous foreign policy blonder i blunds country since vietnam were you correct or incorrect, yes, or no? >> my reference to the surge being dangerous -- >> the question is were you right or wrong. that is a pretty straightforward question. i would leak the answer whether you are right or wrong and then you are free to elaborate. >> well, i'm not going to give you a yes or no. >> why do you think that the iranian foreign ministry is strongly supports your

nomination to be secretary of defense? >> i have a difficult enough time with american politics and senator i have no idea. >> do you think it is appropriate for the chief civilian leader of the u.s. military forces to agree with the statement that both the perception, quote and the reality is that the united states is, jet the world's bully. >> the didn't hear her say that by the way the united states. and i think my comment was it is irdevelop rant in good observation -- irdevelop rant and good observation. i don't think i said that i agree with it. >> as of this afternoon 12 senators publicly saying they will vote against confirming hagel as defense secretary and that number is expected to grow. here with reaction is syndicated co columnist and fox news contributor charles

krauthammer. >> it was a shocking performance. without a doubt the worst i have seen in probably 20-25 years for any nominee for high administration position. you have to look at this this way. there were two lines of attack before the hearings on hagel. one on ideology and the second on his value voter veracity. the ideology was of his views said the washington post which s not exactly a right wing rag were outside of the mainstream to the left of obama and on the fringe of the senate. that was number one. the content of his beliefs. the second is the veracity. this is a guy who said all kinds of things and hailed by those who support him as a man who speaks truth to power. a man who is fareless, who stakes out his ground. all of a sudden where there is a high position dangled before

his eyes he recants on just about everything on the weeks leading up to his nomination and in the hearings. on all kinds of issues, the iranian revolutionary guards he recan'ts and recants on the stuff he said about israel. do you believe him today or do you believe him yesterday? now, the third thing which is the most damaging. he just was completely incompetent. he was incomprehensible at times and come meetly out of his depth and clueless on some issues. one exchange which was utterly devastating. he was asked about the administration policy on containment of iran and he answered i support the administration's containment policy. later in the hearing he is handed a note and he says i just have been handed a note that i misspoke and my position -- the position that i hold the one that obviously is that the administration has no

position on containment of iran at which point the democratic senator levin had to correct him and say the administration has a position on containment of iran and it is against it. this is -- this s not esotericis issue. this is a tentorial issue of our time. prevent iran's nukes or contain it and he didn't have a clue. >> extremely important point that you make that senator levin gave him a little bit of help trying to bail him out of the question. we have another question. senator jill le brand doing almost the same thing. >> the statement earlier today with regard to whether iran is legitimate. i can underand it if you meant it is a legal entity that has international relations and has diplomatic relations and is a member of the u.n. but i do not see iran or the

iranian government as a legitimate government. what i meant to say or should say it is recognizable and is recognized at the united nations. most of our allies had embassies there. that is what i should have said and thank you. >> charles, about half a minute or are so but that is the second example. there were other examples as well. was he prepared unprepared? what is going on there? >> he had three practice sessions. i can't believe he got through any of them. before he said a legitimate government he said it was an elected government. the cause of the revolution that was it was a rigged election. where has he been? >> got to wonder was this let's put him up there and see what happens when we get a real nominee one we really want coming up next. not sure. leave it there. charles krauthammer. thank you very much. coming up next, a hannity party for outgoing secretary of state

well, tonight we bid adu bon voyage to secretary of state mostly cloudy skie hillae steps down from her post at the state department. take a look at her accomplishments or lack thereof. first start with the attack on the u.s. embassy in turkey today that left one guard dead and marked the 8th embassy hit under hillary's watch.

moving on the consulate attack which resulted in the assassination of a u.s. ambassador for the first time since the carter administration and the chaos in the middle east that brought syria and egypt to the brink of collapse in addition to iran is closer than ever to making a nuclear bomb. the list goes on and on. joining me for hillary's farewell party, kate openshane. let me start with you. i have a list of attacks on u.s. consulates and embassies. da mass caucuses syria, kabul, afghanistan, tunisia, yemen, turkey. the one that is most important is benghazi, libya. go ahead. >> right. not and the fact that it was attacked and our ambassador was shuttered and three other americans but the fact that it happened with warning on september 11th. that is like being surprised when christmas falls on

christmas day. we were completely flat footed. not expecting it. 8 attacks on american embassies with americans dead. that is an absolute abysmal failure of secretary clinton and you didn't mention in the list that could go on and on the fact that our relationship with our one democratic ally in the middle east israel is deteriorating. opinion about america in every country except japan has deteriorated since 2009. headed in the wrong direction. there was no reset with russia. in fact, it is worse than ever. >> mark, what will secretary clinton's legacy be? >> i think the personal legacy will be phenomenal. no national politician of either the republican or democratic party that enjoys over 70% national approval rating that over 70% of americans approve the job performance they have done. i think that is for her a personal thing. we need to think about the country because that is more important. >> right. >> how is the country positioned after she is leaving

and i think this is no expert are foreign policy expert that will disagree with the fact that america is stronger in the world, more respected that our relationship with our allies have been refurbished after 8 years of president bush's administration. >> which ones? >> and not just our country is safer but also -- >> hold on. kate is asking the right question. >> which countries do we have a better relationship with? israel is our ally an and we he a deteriorating relation with netanyahu. egypt is now led by the muslim brotherhood guy who says that we should nurture our children on hatred of israel? all around the world? >> netanyahu just yesterday said positive things about the obama administration. >> come on, mark. >> the arab spring was in a lot of ways fostered by the 70,000 men and women working for the state department of the united states as well as diplomats

working for all sorts of western countrys. >> how has that gone? >> fairly well. we have democratic elebronned governments in a lot of the middle east right now. actual we have fixate on benghazi and people on the right will want to. >> doug: fixate? what does it matter now? >> ambassador chris stevens was a close personal friend of is secretary clinton and she took responsibility -- >> she didn't -- >> i remember this. she said i will take full responsibility and then i didn't really hear that kate in the congressional hearings last week. did you? >> yeah, not only eric has the fact that she didn't take responsibility last week she continually forced it elsewhere. but she lied for days and days and weeks she said that it was the result of some spontaneous video and said that to the victims' families as she stood next to the coffins and now says i never said that. that is a scourge to her -- she

might have had a great -- >> did we come here to talk about benghazi or four years as secretary of state? >> the question is hillary clinton stood next to the coffins of the four dip mo dips and mentioned the video knowing very well the attack had nothing to do with the video. >> you and i don't know what she knew when she knew it. >> she knew. she absolutely knew. >> we do know because she testifyd that she did know and she had known at that period of time. just two weeks ago she admitd that she had known. >> as you and kate know a lot of the things we do overseas are clandestine and not necessarily in the public eye. we are looking at our relationship with the asian pacific world the institutional arrangements with china and support for countries more vulnerable as a result of china's power.

>> will hillary clinton's one million miles logged and all of the things that mark points out will that divert attention from the one big thing, the 10,000-pound elephant in the room, benghazi? >> absolutely not, eric. benghazi but a whole host of other issues. there is no where in the world where we are are better strongr and in a better position than we were four years ago. >> that is pessimistic. >> the one thing she has done well. promoted abortion on demand and gay rights internationally which is ironic because it contradicts the goal of apiecement of radical islam around the world. that s an area she has done a great job. >> i got to go. thank you very much, guys. coming up, a supermodel, a nerd and nascar driver have come together to create one of the most bizarre super bowl ads ever. this is the commercial the entire country will be talking about on monday. you will see it next when kimberly guilfoyle joins me in

the city has made and the way they rolled out the carpets. some of the players are coming in. you have 47 now, this is the 47th super bowl. a lot of history that has gone past this game. a lot of great players will be here for the game and i happen to think that the matchup brings the two best teams in football together. a lot of times you say people may have backed in or may not dehe serve to be there. both of these teams earned the right to be there and they are is similar teams and coincidentally same family is coaching them. >> one of the great story lines going on behind the scene. a pick? favorite? odds. do you have a bet. >> you will take the jets so i will feel comfortable about what i will do. >> stick it right in me. see if i care. give it to me. >> i bet you picked obama for the election. >> actually, i didn't on that one. the thing is i -- on monday i lean towards the 49ers. on tuesday i lean towards the

ravens but in this football game i think the baltimore ravens. they seem to be riding a high right now. the teams are evenly matched. i'm leaning towards the baltimore ravens. could well well get down to the kicking game. i'm taking the ravens. >> as we discuss the issue of hard hitting and concussions and president obama saying he wouldn't let his son play football. what are your thoughts on the game, the injuries, head injuries. where do you stand on that? >> first of all, when you accept the responsibility to play and sign a contract to play this game you understand it is a violent contact game. that going in you know. there is no guise about it or mystery about what the game is about. you will probably be sore. it is probably going to hurt and itle probably affect you the rest of your life. go up to every professional football player today and ask this question, say you understand that this game, you could wind up with things

happening to you going down the road and in the future walk away from the game today. >> they are not going to do it. >> why would they? this is their passion. they love it. >> that is why you see guys going out injured and saw robert griffin iii not want to come off the field in the redskins seattle game. a game where we strive to make it as safe as possible. the national football league and the players association are working hard to make it safe but it is difficult when somebody is running at you you are going to lower your head to defend yourself. it is difficult to legislate hitting out of the game of football. if that s going to be the case then you will have a lot of guys making a lot of money play flag football. >> tim tebow, does he have a future in the nfl. this was a tough year from him just what do you think? >> i hope he gets away from the the jets. i don't think it was a good marriage going there and winding up in some kind of situation where are he s an outback on the punt team. that didn't serve tim well.

i hope he is given an opportunity so he can answer the question can he play in this game or not the play in this game. i hope somebody gives him a chance. let them look at him and make an evaluation. if you can't complete passes and throw the ball accurately you can't play professional football. and i see where he is training and working with an olympian. i would love to see him work with a quarterback coach to give him an opportunity to work on the skills that he needs to play the profession that he loves. >> if he called you and said joe, one of the best quarterbacks all time in the nfl can you help me? would you help him? >> in a heart beat. i would do everything to give him the chance to live the dream that i have been lucky and blessed to be able to live. >> doug: you were once selected as the nfl man of the year for your community service. a great american. thank you so much joe theidsmann for being
